So for the two of you that read "The Odyssey and the Idiot" ... you know I am neither Democrat or Republican. I am a traditionalist, meaning the qualities that brought us here are the ones to be embraced. Not the ones that have gotten such tremendous press the last 30 years (though they have been visible for 1,000s) such as abortion and gay rights, but love of country, faith in God's love for our endeavour, ruling for the masses while having recourse for the minority; not the other way around.
I'll tidy this up at the end, but bear with me as I explain what leads to my conclusion. Please note: just about everything I will mention gets inordinate attention, when it should be at the fringes, where it belongs.
The rights of those who wish to abort: 48 million babies have been terminated in the last 35 years. Of this, I would guess 1%, if that, was a result of incest or rape. It is a birth control device. Needless to say, I am firmly against this innate evil. My friend recently asked me, "what if your daughter was raped and impregnated?". I would hate that, of course. But I can't make a rule for the one percent, in order to allow the other 99%. There is no way pregnancy would occur without God's will. Period. And I accept this.
Democrats favor abortion.
Gay Marriage: Nope. It is a culture of death, just like abortion. Society would end tomorrow: no more kids. No more immortal souls created. It is evil, morally. We are all given our crosses to bear in this life. Some of us manage or try to, while others do not. This is their cross; their trial. How have they fared?
Democrats favor gay marriage. And special rights also. You can hide you are gay, you can not hide you are black. This is why it incenses me when they call gay rights a civil right. Just shut up and keep it private, please. And then don't do it anyway. God said not to. Enough for you??
Atheism: I love these people. Folks who have lived, say, 40 years, have come to the startling conclusion that religion is horse hockey. Agnostics fit in this group as well. Let me make sure I understand: geniuses like St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Thomas More, St. Jerome or any other master theologian ... have been completely taken in ... by fiction. Right. The average meatball may think God is bs; Christ made up. Let me see: genius vs. meatball? Who wins? I wish to defer to folks who have been considering issues of faith and morals for 2,000 years, as opposed to a sandfly who has been considering same for an hour and a half.
Democrats love people like this.
PS there is no way, NONE, that a person could sit down, create, through writing, a perfect person like Jesus unless He was real, existed, so one would have a model to compare against, and God Himself. This simple logic itself is lost on many. It ain't that complicated.
Joe Biden has hair plugs and capped teeth: OK, I made that one up, as far as a critical issue. Although, he does have to look in the mirror daily, which is pretty serious. And he should be Excommunicated. It can be lifted, but it is a great little wake up call to arrogance.
Liberals are almost always wrong on key issues that affect our lives. If they win the presidential election, which I think they will, they will, be their very natures, damage the pillars of what brought us here. They hate God (if you don't follow His edicts within the church you attend, you don't love Him), they rule for small minorities, at the expense of the majority. They encourage class warfare, like it is a new phenomenon. William Jennings Bryan, who ran 3 times for president, had this as a core philosophy. He was a democrat, by the way. However, he was a very good man who loved God. He wanted to create a more fair environment for the smaller folk, not create malice and enmity, like his brethren wish to do today. Do you want the government mandating to whom you give charity, sending tax relief to folks who have not paid tax in the first place? Get ready. The government can't even run a DMV it doesn't make me nauseous to go to. Now this? Barack called it "neighborly". I call it madness.
There will be more appointments to the Supreme Court, who will take the gift of our constitution and create decisions with no foundation in the same document.
They will recreate the rules and further render economic calamity. How? In order to fill a quota, give availability to folks who can't manage it. In the interest of fairness... Not merit, mind you, which makes the world better, but coddling, which takes away incentive and makes things worse, publicly and personally.
Gee, I think the dems are on to something. Let's create a utopia in some manner! Great idea. I think they are the first folks to ever think of this, cause they sure act like it. Who's Plato? I love it. We always think we are the first to think about critical issues. 300 billion dollars has been spent to alleviate poverty since FDR was president. You mean, someone else cared about the poor too? No, we just thought of it. This is called arrogance, the sin of the Garden. I can't help but note that all this spending has not made poverty disappear. All that money ... there has got to be a better way. Give it to a church or something. At least they know how to do this kind of thing.
When most of the electorate gets its info from the mass media who HATES American values as outdated, and votes to feel good (and leaving practicality by the wayside), I foresee calamity coming; God cast aside. We make our own rules! Adam and Eve were the first politically correct people. The serpent said don't listen to God because He doesn't want you to be like Him. Eat from that tree, and no one can tell you what you should or should not do. You judge right from wrong yourselves. Gosh, isn't this type of thinking a new phenomenon?, since we advocate it daily in the media: no judgment? We act like it. No way someone writing 5,000 years ago would know anything. Memo to the geniuses: our problems, our natures and our solutions have been under discussion for all these years. Nothing is new. Just keep trying to fix things with new, brilliant solutions. Nothing will change. Work to improve the condition, but don't for a minute think your solution will make it go away.
I lay in bed the other night, my stomach churning. I despair that simple truths are overlooked, in order to support a dubious agenda. It isn't fair out there and it isn't going to be. Crooked CEOs with golden parachutes will fare well, while the other's 401s go to hades. Our DISD chief, who has an 84mil shortfall in the budget, will keep his job (and lose his honor), while esteemed teachers will get whacked. He won't even resign as a matter of conscience. Put all these issues together and what have we got? A very sad person: me (and several others like me).
I worry about the future, where real values and solutions are laughed at.
I prayed for relief.
I also got it.
These are temporal problems. I prayed that those in power would see the light of the Lord and come to understand what I do, through His gifts to me. I have no other solution to offer. Besides, what better response to calamity is there than Christ and His love? It is there, will be there, and we need to see it. He will watch out for us who love Him. He will watch out for others too. Everyone. He has a plan. I / we just need to keep our eyes focused on it. It won't be easy, but it will be done. If there is a better way -- and there is not -- I have yet to see it. I can only pray that others will wake up to this simple reality as well.
All is well in His hands.
God Bless,
Keith
